Prepared for New Beginnings | 迎接新学年，全力准备中

Beijing City International School

北京乐成国际学校

The academic team at Beijing City International School (BCIS) has been using the summer vacation to reflect on our own experiences and the experiences of educators around the world during these past six months. Education internationally has had to adapt quickly to dramatically changing circumstances due to COVID-19. We have all learnt a lot in a very short time. As we prepare for the new academic year at BCIS, we know the future remains uncertain, but our academic team and staff are confident and prepared for a range of situations and primed for a new year of learning. We are pleased to share our Three Learning Scenarios for 2020-21.

尽管特殊时期仍在持续，但我们相信，您和您的家人已经顺利开启了丰富的、有意义的暑假生活。近期，北京乐成国际学校（BCIS）的教学与行政团队一如既往地在为新学年的开始做着准备。教学团队以“将对学生的学业影响降到最小”为原则，同时结合政府关于学生错峰返校的建议，深入探究了在线学习、混合式学习和校园内的课堂学习三种学习情景，并研讨出以下教学方案（该方案仍在不断优化中），以应对动态变化中的形势以及未来的不确定性。可以肯定的是，我们会确保依照正常的教学计划，为学生提供满足学时要求的优质课程，并通过畅通的#BCIS无界交流#，与学生和家庭保持紧密联系。

With some of our existing and new teachers already in China, and our overseas teachers in the process of renewing their visas, we are excited to see our teachers return group by group in the coming weeks. We eagerly anticipate the day when all our teachers will be home with our students on campus again. What a special day that will be!

我们深知教师对于BCIS长期可持续发展、对于#BCIS多元社区#、对于学生发展的重要性，我们一直与政府相关部门紧密合作，正在分批次推进滞留海外教师的新签证申请工作，以确保他们在完成隔离和检测后，安全返回北京及工作岗位。

We are also looking forward to welcoming our new students and families into the BCIS community. Prior to the start of our new school year, we will get to know each other on BCIS’ first-ever virtual Xperience! Summer Camp. #BCIScommunity is as important as ever; we keenly await our entire community’s reunion.

在即将到来的新学年，BCIS社区大家庭又将迎来新的成员。我们同这些新家庭一样，对此充满期待。我们将在新学年开始之前举办在线暑期体验营，旨在帮助BCIS新生更加深入的理解#BCIS使命精神#、结识学生和老师、了解BCIS的学习模式与目标。此外，我们也会邀请家长参与到一部分课程中，一同感受BCIS社区文化。BCIS正为迎接新学年全力准备着，期待与您共同度过精彩的下一学年。
